Re: Weld is too bright

I am using an auto darkening helmet. I have it cranked all the way up to 210 amps. I was trying to weld 1/8" aluminum. I haven't tried other materials. Thanks for your response.

Weld is too bright

Hello, I am brand new to TIG welding. I am using Synchowave 211. I’m trying to weld aluminum. Im just trying to practice making puddles. Sometimes, it just glows overly bright. What am I doing wrong. Argon is at 25. Frequency is at 120. I have it on AC. The tungsten tip is about 1/8” beyond cup.
